i LOVE LOVE LOVE my BD needle clipper.

its about the size of a mans thumb. I snap off the needle and the rest goes in the trash! no more big red buckets. no more wondering what to do with it.

(btw my MD would take mine if I asked very nicely and made it a non public request) The ER can take it AND your local rescue squad. If you have a volunteer town, your taxes pay for the sharps disposal from all residents in most states. The local clinics will also take um. My trash dump says SEAL it with duct taped and make sure it was marked well and bring it to them. As long as it was well sealed they would take it there for a $2 fee.

get a needle nipper, they hold over one thousand needles! best investment ever!
